m2eclipse (m2e) provides reasonable integration of a maven project in Eclipse. Luckily, the m2e plugin is part of the standard Eclipse bundle since the Indigo release. If you have an older version of Eclipse (Helios or older), you'll have to install the plugin manually (it is not clear if that 's is supported any more - please consult the interwebs).

Whatever your Eclipse version, you'll need to make sure you have a Subversion plugin - either Subclipse or Subversive. We prefer Subclipse - to install it, follow the instructions here: Subclipse installation. We use version 1.8 (later versions don't have the SvnKit option yet, which is what works in MacOSX). Once installed (requires a restart of Eclipse), go to Preferences->Team->SVN and select SvnKit as client interface.

Right click on trunk and select Checkout as Maven project.... You can accept the defaults or customize as you please (e.g. add a prefix to all checked-out projects, add them to a filtered list, etc.). If you're prompted to select additional m2e connectors, accept the suggestions and continue. After a little while you'll see Eclipse building the workspace. A full build will take quite some time. Note that this initial build is not a maven compilation, but an Eclipse compilation. At the end of all this, you will have an eclipse project per maven module.
